Ex S'elance appears to be running into form but Dequall looks to be heading in the opposite direction. Emirat De Catana, who has been chasing recently, is only 2lb higher than when successful at Musselburgh in December but AUDITORIA got worked up at the start when fourth at Uttoxeter last month so a 3lb drop in the ratings may be premature. She can foil stablemate World Trip’s attempt to win this for a second year running. Beep Beep, Farmer's Gamble and Rabble Rouser are all unexposed so worth a market check.
